Creating Cloudfront distributions
- Create a cloud front distribution for videos
- Try this kind of html
<html>
<head>
<title> testing cdn </title>

<div>
<video width="320" height="240" controls>
<source src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/ltstoragelearning.com/videos/small.mp4" type="video/mp4">

- Cloud front distributions will be faster than s3 because they take advantage of POP locations of AWS
- If the video is POP location on request then video gets cached to POP location and will be available for TTL (default 1 day)
Glacier and Glacier Deep Archive
- Glacier is used for the data which is not meant to accessed frequently.
- Glacier is archival storage.
- In Glacier the data has to be present at least for 90 days
- In Glacier – Deep archive data has to be present at for 180 days
- Glacier will have vaults. Inside these vaults you can store the content
- Data can be copied into Glacier using life cycle rules of S3
- Uploading Archive to Vault can be done from
- aws sdk (C# or Java or Python)
- aws cli
- For cli Refer Here
- Glacier takes up to 15 hours to download the data where as Glacier deep archive takes upto 12 hours to download the data from glacier
- uploaded sample to glacier vault using cli
AWS Storage Gateway
- This connects an on-premises applications with aws cloud based storage
- Offers
- File Gateway:
- This supports file interface into S3 & combine service & virtual software appliance.
- Using this we can retrieve, store objects in S3 over standard protocols such as NFS & SMB
- This s/w appliance is deployed into on-premise virtual machine (VMware, Hyper, KVM)
- Volume Gateway:
- This provides cloud-based storage volumes that can be mounted as Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI)
- This is supported on hypervisior (VMWare, KVM or Microsoft)
- This supports two volume configurations
- Cached Volumes
- Stored Volumes
- Cached Volumes
- Tape Gateway:
- This Gateway privides cloud-backed virtul tape storage
- This is supported on hypervisior (VMWare, KVM or Microsoft)
- This tape gateway is cost-effective for archiving back up data into Glacier or Glacier Deep Archive.
- File Gateway:
Encryption in S3 Buckets
- In Transit:
- S3 is accessed over https which is already encrypted.
- Rest
- Default encryption
- AWS KMS
